When I was a child I'd made these origami boxes and my mother would adorn them on her dresser. Now that I think of it, I'm amazed that how much of that junk I used to make and she would treasure it like priceless pieces. She would in fact ask me to make more :). Anyway, 20 years later I'm still making the same boxes just that they seem much more useful and beautiful :). I wanted to distribute prasad (sweets) among my friends and so I used these boxes for that purpose. You can find the instructions by Nichole Heady.

I wanted to make all of the same color but was out of ms CS! I must say that though nestabilities are very expensive but they're so useful!

Got this image in my image swap - it's so cool! I was trying to make this card for a sketch challenge but somewhere down the line I didn't want to stick to the sketch and then decided to embellish that flower on the DP.

I made this for the LAD BSC and as I've said before I love my stamp set from LAD. The other day I was thinking about how else can I use the images and immediately I wanted to make a "bouquet" kind of image.

Here's wishing Allison many happy returns of the day and below is the card that I made for her! Though it'll reach a little late :(.

Lately I saw that this "behind the window" look seemed to be in fashion and I wanted to try it out. You should also check out what these nice ladies made for Allison: Theresa, Anna, Deb, Jackie , Mel, Tina, Monica, Zarna, Malieta.

If you want to make a banner like the one I made for "Craft deals this week" on my right sidebar then checkout MyBannerMaker. It lets you choose the background color, the text - color, position, size and what not.

I'm carrying this over from the thread I started @ SCS. Let me know if some coupon code doesn't work or you want me to add any offer/coupon here. There'll be a permanent link to this post on the right sidebar so you can access it easily anytime.

This seems to be my favorite sketch especially for embossing! Every time I think of embossing, I'm unable to digress from this sketch. I guess I need to come out of my comfort zone somehow. I wanted to do three images with the same stamp and have only a part of the stamp in each of the images and with no uniformity among the images. I think I was successful on that end.

Oh and worth mentioning is the video tutorial of tying a ribbon bow. What I also learnt from it is that I could make a bow separately and simply adhere it to my ribbon strip. You must be saying to yourself "duh?" LOL; well I never thought that could be done. There I was trying to tie a bow on a card like you did on a present. Never mind, better late than never! :)
